Showing in Junior Showmanship in 1969, started my show career. After college in 1981, I purchased my first Chinese Shar Pei and have shown, and bred many champions.  We have also owned and shown 2 Cardigans. We also show and breed Portuguese Water Dogs, owning the #1 PWD for 2007.  We have many "Specials" that finish in the top 25 of their breed yearly, and have may Best In Shows.  I have shown and handled many breeds over the years, for myself and others.

My husband Lowell and I have four sons, Nickolas, Alexander, Cameron and Trevor. The two younger sons have also shown in Junior Showmanship. We live on a quiet acreage in SE Nebraska.

Graduate from the University Of Nebraska, Lincoln, with a Bachelors Degree in Education, Social Sciences. I have worked for the State of Nebraska since 1996, working with the Department of Justice, Workers Compensation Court, as the Vocational Rehabilitation Manager.

I have thoroughly enjoyed dogs literally all life, with Judging Junior Showmanship as my favorite, as they ARE the future of the Sport. I have judged both Domestically and Internationally.
